Treasure Beach Canal Petition -- General Information on how you can help our effort

Published Wednesday, September 06, 2006

1. What are we asking for?

We are asking the Commissioners to do their job and dredge the canals using the monies we have paid in taxes for the last 20 years. That amounts to more than $3 million. We are also asking them to establish a maintenance plan going forward so we won't need to go through this procedure in the future.

2. Who can sign the petition?

Anyone who wants to help us in our efforts can sign the petition. Also, Please ask them to print their name at the bottom of the page (just in case we cannot read their signature. If they are a resident and/or property owner in St. Johns County (anywhere) their signature will help our cause. So ask your neighbors, friends, and relatives to help us by signing the petition. The more people that sign -- the greater impact this petition will have on the Commissioners action. They realize each petition represents votes and influence in upcoming elections.

3. What else do I need to do?

Make sure the person signing indicates what categories they are in by checking all categories that apply to them. For Example:

A. They might be able to check all categories:

(1. Property Owner plus 2. Resident plus 3. Taxpayer plus 4. Voter).

B. Or they may be a Renter ( 1. Resident plus 2. Voter).

C. Or they may be a friend who lives in St. Johns County (1. Taxpayer plus 2. Voter).

4. What else can we do to help?

Call all the Politicians Offices and tell them you want the canals dredged using our tax money we have already paid in. This includes State and St. Johns County Commissioners offices. Call each Commissioner individually

Also, ask everyone you know who has any connection with the political parties to help us.

Remember:

We are trying to help our property values continue to grow as well as be able to enjoy the canals and our boating activities.

We are no longer a local "Fish Camp". We are a Valuable Development.

The Commissioners love to help new developers. We are asking them to help our existing development continue to improve.

Commissioner Bryant wants to live in the past and talk about the History of T.B. Most of our residents are not people that were owners in the beginning. We want to talk about the present and future of Treasure Bach. Some of our newer properties range from $750,000 to over $1 million Dollars.
